Wrote the correct code. Says that task 3 no longer correct. Just added 90% stop on the last gradient and bottom to top.

Is there something wrong?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-header{
  background-image:  linear-gradient(bottom to top,steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);

}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>
</html>

Hi Kevin,

You're very close! It's just a simple syntax issue... You define the direction of CSS gradient with to top, to bottom, etc., separating this value from the first colour with a comma. So, the solution would be:

.main-header {
  background-image: linear-gradient(to top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);
}
